Crypto winter?
In light of the recent slump in crypto prices, might 2021 appear in retrospect to have been a particularly febrile period, with its gushing investments and rocketing valuations?

That’s what we came here to build.”
On Wednesday, crypto exchange FTX US announced a $400 million funding round. It was also valued at $8 billion.
